Hello All,
I posted a couple of days ago because my female veiled stopped eating. You folks said it was because she's gravid, and you folks were right!
I had a laying bin in the enclosure, and I put a few branches in there for her to get in and out as you guys suggested.

I have been covering her enclosure to give her some privacy. Everything remained the same as of 2 hours ago. She was still not eating and she was still very weak.
When I came back to check on her, I found her on the floor of the cage, and there was a pile of eggs next to her. I didn't have an chance to take a good look, but there were about 10 eggs or so. I was shocked by this, and quickly evacuated the premise to give her some privacy. Due to this new development, I have a few more questions:
1. Now the eggs are out of her system, should I be expecting to see some improvement to her health? Or laying eggs on the floor indicate her imminent demise?
2. She was kept together with a male chameleon in the pet store in November, is it possible that these eggs are fertile?
Thanks a lot!
